This is more my thing. Here goes. I have come across like 6 different ways of preparing Egusi soup Iwill however put one acoss to you. This is called Efere Ikon.It is a calabar version of preparing the soup.

Thanks to recipe provide by @Stillwater, I was able to cook a pot of Egusi soup. I once tried without guidance during my University days and the result was nothing to write home about. Since then, I gave up. Today, i finally summoned courage and searched for egusi soup in Nairaland and the result is shown below. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Sorry, pictures not too sharp as I had to resize them.
